Review of Pilot

Lie to Me: Pilot (2009)
Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
Great Show, But If You're Going To Bring JWs Into It...

Warning: Spoilers
This was a great first show; I loved The Mentalist, and this followed a similar theme, but the science behind it is a little more solid. The only thing that annoyed me was their depiction of Jehovah's Witnesses. They portrayed them as religiously devout, but to an extreme. JWs would never talk to someone about the evil of the world, nor would the son say things like most fundamentalist Christians who say we can't know God's plan. They could have done 10 minutes worth of research on Jehovah's Witnesses to show them in a more accurate light. Plus, that stupid poster on the wall in the kids wall? No JW has that. Plus, Jehovah's Witnesses don't keep their kids out of school to shield them from the evils of the world, any more so than non-JWs do. Most Witnesses put their kids in public schools.

That's my only real beef with the episode though.
